Newcastle Fans Take To Twitter After Worst Display Of The Season

We were hoping for a win yesterday at home to Watford to stop the rot and the score was 3-0 but it was a win by Watford who clearly outclassed Newcastle.

That’s now four defeats in a row.

And the thing that’s really disturbing is our defense is starting to look very poor and vulnerable and we have now conceded 7 goals in just two games.

We have a game at West Brom on Tuesday night and they are struggling, but our defense must tighten up – we now have a goal difference of -6.

Then we visit Stanford Bridge on Saturday and we’re not really looking forward to that game.

We don’t think it will be possible to improve the side too much in January given what Rafa’s been saying recently so this could be another season of survival for us.

Rafa Benitez– now has a big job to do this season

We must stay in the Premier League and another relegation fight is the very last thing we wanted this season.

But it’s starting to look that way.

Amazing how crucial Lascelles has become to #nufc after last season. Mbemba must surely start on the left and shift Manquillo to Yedlin who seems found out on. Opp are clearly targeting him on that side.

Rafa by his own admission didn’t get the players he wanted in the summer, he had to settle. The consequences of that are now being felt. Hopefully we gave a good January and can push for a top half finish – though a top 17 finish would suit me just fine #NUFC

Some of our best players simply aren’t being used – we lacked a defensive midfielder with Hayden suspended so Colback should have played; Mitrovic has to play every game not Joselu; Mbemba should be in the defence at either FB or CB and R. Aarons should be given a chance. #NUFC

Everything NUFC stood for in early weeks of season – discipline, work-rate, organisation & enthusiasm – has gone. It has unravelled at an alarming rate. No wonder a relegation clause is the biggest sticking point of this takeover.

Rafa on Mitrovic and Mbemba having to work harder in training to get a start.

Good job Micky Quinn is not in the squad not the greatest trainer but by hell could he put the ball in the net.

Both Mitro and Mbemba should start on Tuesday

Take over if we do not pull our socks up it could be shelved and where would that leave us – up shit creek – who would want to buy a Championship Club for 300 million and Ashley is not going to put any more money in then we are FU**ED

Rafa is to blame, Mitro and Mbemba on the pitch from the start would have made a big difference. Ritchie has been found out and Lejeune is to slow. Joselu , I will state he is the weakest,softest waste of space I have seen as a striker in the PL.

We really need to start playing some of the so called fringe players, Mbemba, Mitro , Saivet, Aarons, Gamez and Darlow. Look at the changes Mbemba for any defender, Mitro for Joselu, Saivet for Gayle at number ten spot, Aarons for Ritchie, Gamez for Manquillo and Darlow for Elliot. Rafa really needs to give some players a rest, yes lets call it a rest Rafa and see outside of training what they can bring to the table. And me mentioning playing Mitro is something I would not never have said beginning of the year due to his temperament and lack of goals. But he’s better than Joselu who has had enough chances and probably quicker and 100% more physical.

health update

My latest bone scans and CAT scans were completed on Wednesday of this week and yesterday I met with my oncologist Dr. Dhruva to look over the results.

The stage four cancer remains stabilized and has not spread any further over the last six months.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in early 2017 after being in remission for six years.

The cancer metastasized through the bones to different parts of the body and the treatment I am undergoing is hormone treatment.

There is no cure for stage 4 cancer but there are treatments (like Hormone treatment) that attempt to prolong life.

I am upbeat with the results and remain in awe of the doctors and nurses at the Rex Cancer Center here in Raleigh.

It's truly humbling to see how inspiring they are with their patients.

One of our avid readers Kacper Tylenda from Poland was the person who came in during April, 2017 and redesigned this web-site from top to bottom.

We think he did a fantastic job to modernize the site with the roll-out on Thursday May 18th surprisingly smooth.

I am so appreciative of his help.

Kacper is starting his own business in web-design so if you want a website built or know of people who want to redo their sites in any way – here’s his portfolio.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
